Ok, My Vaio is giving alot of trouble lately. Its gotten to the point where I have to restore it at least once a week!! This is just the computer that I have down in my bedroom. It came from the factory with Win ME on it and I got a copy of XP and installed that. It ran good for months, until about 3 weeks ago, where It kept crashing and I had to totally wipe the HD. This is rediculous, What can I do, I DO NOT have the money to drop on a new PC right now. and WTF does this warning mean...?

That means you have waaaay to much porn on your computer and crashed the hard drive, but dont worry, they are pretty cheap and are easy to replace yourself. And you can just install that windows xp you have on it

It looks like your HD is physically going bad. A lot of computers have a pre- Hardware diags run upon bootup. Is the computer making a whining noise or anything?


You can pick up a new HD for $50 or so, hopefully that's it.

Well, I've worked on a few Dells, when that "imminent hard Failure drive message appered, you can pretty much kiss your hard drive and data good bye.


Look in the local papers for a used computer, I'm sure you can pick something up for less than a $100 that is comparable to yours.
